Ok, I as I stated before I have a '69 Squareback that I purchased about a
month ago and I've noticed that after I fill her up with a full tank of
gas
there is a strong gas smell inside the car...it seems to be in the front
area. I thought it was just a one off thing that happened when I put a
little STP Engine Cleaner in her but it still does it if its just plain
jane
gas.

You probably have a broken gas overflow hose. It's located under the RF
fender
and you can probably see gas running out onto the ground when you top up
the
tank. The part you're looking for is 311 201 179A. It's NLA from VW, but
they
can sometimes be found elsewhere.

This is a VERY important thing to fix. If you leave it alone, not only
will you
waste gas and pollute the air, but dirt and water will get splashed into
the
gas tank and eventually cause you some very annoying and expensive
problems.

It is possible to fashion a makeshift replacement from common hose and
some
other parts. This may not fit perfectly, but it will cure the real
problems.
